Facts  About    the    University  of 
Georgia 


Through  the  efforts  of  its  founder,  Abram  Baldwin,  the  Univer- 
sity of  Georgia  was  chartered  in  January  178  5,  though  an  act  giv- 
ing 40,000  acres  of  land  for  the  support  of  a  state  institution  was 
passed  in  February,  17  84.  It  was  thus  the  first  chartered  State 
University  in  America.  In  the  words  of  its  charter  its  high  purpose 
Is  thus  defined: 

"It  should  therefore  be  among  the  first  objects  of 
those  who  wish  well  to  the  national  prosperity  to  encour- 
age and  support  the  principles  of  religion  and  morality, 
and  early  to  place  the  youth  under  the  forming  hand  of 
society,  that  by  instruction  they  may  be  moulded  to  the 
love  of  virtue  and  good  order." 

The  institution  was  opened  to  students  in  1801. 

* 

During  110  years,  the  University  has  enrolled  over  8,000  stu- 
dents. Nearly  4,000  degrees  have  been  conferred  for  work  done. 
The  history  of  its  students  is  largely  the  history  of  the  state.  As 
President  Taft  said  of  it, 

"There  is  gathered  about  this  institution  a  wealth  of 
memory  that  in  itself,  with  the  ideals  formed  here,  is  ever 
to  maintain,  as  it  always  has  maintained,  the  civilization 
of  the  imperial  state  of  Georgia." 


The  Christian  ministry  has  been  strengthened  by  the  useful 
careers  of  one  hundred  and  ninety  of  the  University's  sons.  Ninety- 
four  officers  of  the  U.  S.  Army  and  Navy  and  five  hundred  and  three 
officers  in  the  Confederate  Army,  besides  thousands  of  privates  have 
defended  their  country  in  times  of  need.  Over  a  hundred  have  oc- 
cupied the  bench  in  this  and  other  states,  and  one  has  just  been 
appointed  to  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States.  Six  alumni 
have  served  in  the  United  States  Senate  and  about  fifty  in  the  na- 
tional House  of  Representatives.  Ten  have  served  as  governor  of 
the  state  and  over  four  hundred  in  our  General  Assembly. 

In  statesmanship  the  University  men  are  most  illustrious  in 
Georgia  history. 


Graduates  of  the  University  fill  chairs  in  colleges  and  univer- 
sities all  over  the  South  as  well  as  in  institutions  of  the  North, 
while  scores  are  found  among  superintendents  of  city  and  county 
systems  and  in  the  teaching  force  of  high  schools. 

Eight  hundred  doctors,  over  a  thousand  farmers,  more  than 
two  hundred  engineers,  and  hundreds  of  others  in  finance,  manu- 
facturing and  journalism  have  helped  build  the  state. 

No  man  can  study  the  list  of  the  University  alumni  without 
being  profoundly  impressed  with  the  manner  of  men  that  have  gone 
out  from  its  halls. 

It  is  a  high  privilege  for  a  Georgia  boy  to  be  graduated  from 
this,  the  most  venerable  of  the  state  universities  and  enroll  his 
name  among  the  illustrious  alumni — men  who  have  made  glorious 
Georgia  and  the  South.

In  recent  years  the  teaching;  staff  has  been  more  than  doubled 
in  numerical  strength,  and  the  material  equipment  has  been  en- 
larged in  an  even  greater  proportion.  In  spite  of  the  institution  of 
entrance  requirements  equivalent  to  those  of  the  best  colleges  and 
universities  in  the  North  and  West,  the  attendance  has  steadily  in- 
creased. 

* 


During  the  last  ten  years  the  University  has  made  remarkable 
vogress.  The  attendance  on  the  long  courses  has  increased  100  per 
cent,  and  if  the  short  course  students  be  added,  the  increase  is  2  60 
per  cent.  The  institution  is  now  giving  annually  instruction  at 
Athens  to  nearly  a  thousand  students. 

* 


In  this  same  decade  nine  new  brick  buildings  have  been  erected, 
increasing  over  200  per  cent  the  physical  equipment.  The  campus 
has  been  enlarged  to  twenty-four  times  its  size  ten  years  ago,  so 
as  to  make  room  for  the  agricultural  college  and  the  increased  de- 
mands of  a  growing  state. 

* 


For  the  entire  University,  the  total  available  income  has  been 
increased  in  ten  years  by  2  60  per  cent  and  the  number  of  courses 
offered  by  about  125  per  cent. 

During  this  same  decade  over  $200,000  have  been  given  to  the 
University  by  friends  and  the  state  has  contributed  as  much  more 
for  the  development  of  the  agricultural  department  while  an  increased 
maintenance  fund  for  the  other  departments  of  the  University  has 
been  made. 

While  the  University  is  still  inadequately  equipped  for  the 
training  of  the  youth  of  a  state  with  more  than  two  and  a  half  mil- 
lion people,  yet  it  offers  the  youth  of  today  the  best  advantages  in 


THE  LIBRARY 
GIFT    OF    MR.    GEORGE    FOSTER    PEABODY 


LeCONTE  HALL  (1905) 

A  brick  building,  two  stories    and   basement,    occupied   by  the  School    of  Biology,  named  in 

honor  of  Dr.  John  LeConte,  Professor  of  Phvsics,  i846-1855,  and  Dr.  Joseph  LeConte, 

Professor  of  Geology,  1852-1866. 


all  its  history.  With  additional  appropriations  from  time  to  time 
by  the  state  and  gifts  by  friends  of  education,  the  University  will  be 
made  to  serve  the  people  to  a  still  greater  extent. 


* 


Expenses  at  the  University  are  very  low.  A  room  in  one  of  the 
college  dormitories  costs  two  dollars  a  m:onth;  board  in  the  college 
dining  hall  costs  $10.00  a  month;  fees  for  the  year  amount  to  fr#m 
ten  to  twenty  dollars.  For  about  $150  a  student  can  get  board, 
fuel,  lights,  room,  fees,  laundry  and  books;  in  private  homes  the 
cost  will  be  increased  to  two  or  three  hundred  dollars.  The  rich 
can  get  nothing  better;  the  poor  can  secure  the  best. 


No  single  institution  has  made  a  deeper  impress  upon  the  life 
of  the  state  than  the  University  Law  Department.  During  the  half 
century  of  its  existence  nearly  one  thousand  graduates  have  left  its 
halls,  whose  lives  and  achievements  in  peace  and  war  have  blessed 
the  state.  There  is  scarcely  a  town  or  city  in  the  state  among 
whose  leading  attorneys  are  not  found  its  alumni.  Today  the  school 
sees  her  graduates  in  the  Senate,  in  Congress,  in  the  Legislature,  on 
the  Supreme  Bench,  on  the  bench  of  the  Court  of  Appeals,  on  the 
Circuit  and  City  Benches.  Her  sens  are  found  among  the  Solicitors 
General  and  the  Solicitors  of  other  courts.  No  ether  law  school  in 
the  South  Atlantic  States  has  graduated  so  many  eminent  lawyers. 

It  is  the  only  law  school  in  Georgia  of  which  it  can  be  said  that 
it  is  a  full-day  law  school,  with  professors  giving  their  entire  time 
to  instruction  in  law,  with  standard  college  entrance  requirements, 
and  intimate  integral  connection  with  university  life.  Access  to  the 
academic  schools,  the  libraries,  debating  societies,  participation  in 
literary  and  other  University  activities,  wider  acquaintanceship  with 
the  young  men  of  the  state,  and  university  fellowship  are  invaluable 
to  the  lawyer.  The  full  professional  teaching  staff  has  been  doubled 
and  the  course  covers  two  years,  based  upon  fourteen  units  of  en- 
trance. Many  of  its  students  are  graduates  of  the  academic  depart- 
ment of  the  University  and  other  institutions. 


* 


Since  1867,  the  School  of  Civil  and  Electrical  Engineering  has 

had  a  continuous  and  vigorous  existence  as  an  integral  part  of  the 
University's  work,  and  its  graduates  fill  'many  prominent  positions 
in  city,  state  and  national  affairs,  and  in  railroad  and  mining  en- 
terprises. 

The  ideal  of  the  school  since  its  inception  has  been  to  do  thor- 
ough, fundamental  work  with  each  individual  student,  and  to  give 


each  man  the  fullest  opportunities  to  perfect  himself  in  the  work. 
The  courses  are  so  designed  and  so  taught  that  the  engineering  grad- 
uate will  find  his  general  preparation  and  professional  knowledge 
sound  and  adequate  for  rapid  progress.  Familiarity  with  field  meth- 
ods enables  the  student  to  take  right  hold  of  the  work  assigned  by 
his  employer  to  the  mutual  advantage  of  both. 


The  Department  of  Pharmacy  is  the  youngest  of  the  profes- 
sional departments  but  already  it  has  taken  front  rank  among  the 
schools  of  its  class.  Well  equipped  laboratories,  regular  hours  and 
teachers,  with  the  benefit  of  the  other  scientific  departments  and 
university  life  make  this  a  desirable  training  school  for  Pharmacists. 


The  Agricultural  College  is  fully  described  in  a  series  of  Bulle- 
tins that  may  be  had  for  the  asking.  It  is  of  recent  development 
but  has  already  grown  into  the  most  valuable  agricultural  educa- 
tional institution  in  this  section. 

* ■ 

The  honor  system,  a  system  of  self-government  by  the  students, 
has  prevailed  at  the  University  for  many  years.  The  written  pledge 
of  honor  of  a  student  that  he  has  neither  given  nor  received  aid  on 
an  examination  is  accepted  without  question.  A  student  proctor  is 
appointed  by  the  Chancellor  as  supervisor  over  every  six  rooms  in 
the  dormitories  for  lower  classmen,  to  aid  the  younger  men  in  de- 
veloping self-government  and  for  giving  advice.  Each  student  also  se- 
lects a  member  of  the  faculty  as  his  special  adviser  to  whom  he 
goes  for  all  kinds  of  advice  and  counsel.  Under  this  system  of  per- 
sonal honor,  and  student  and  faculty  advisers,  the  spirit  of  truth 
and  honor,  of  self-reliance  and  strength  of  character,  is  developed 
and  the  youth  are  returned  to  the  state  men. 


* 

Military  training  is  required  of  lower  classmen.  Three  drills  a 
week  are  given.  The  institution  is  not  under  military  discipline, 
but  the  students  while  under  military  duty  are  required  to  perform 
these  in  a  strict  military  way.  A  national  army  officer  is  in  charge 
of  this  department.  There  are  five  companies  of  infantry,  one  com- 
pany of  artilery  with  two  guns,  a  cadet  band  and  signal  corps. 

* 

In  1882  Governor  Joseph  E.  Brown  gave  a  Students'  Loan  Fund 
in  memory  of  his  son,  Charles  McDonald  Brown.  This  fund  has 
increased  three-fold  and  over  fifty  young  men  are  helped  annually. 
Full  particulars  of  this  fund  will  be  furnished  upon  application  to 
the  Chancellor.

In  all  branches  of  Athletics,  includirg  football,  baseball,  track, 
basketball,  tennis,  the  University  of  Georgia  ranks  among  the  first 


TERRELL  HALL  (J905) 

A  three-story  building  of  brick  with  granite    and   terra-cotta  facings,  130  by  70  feet,  occupied 

by  the  schools  of  Chemistry,  Pharmacy,  named  in  honor  of  Dr.  William  Terrell,  who, 

in  1854,  endowed  the  professorship  of  agricultural  chemistry  in  the  University.

in  the  South.  A  new  $100,000  gymnasium  and  Y.  M.  C.  A.  hall  will 
be  sufficiently  advanced  to  be  partly  occupied  in  September.  The 
athletic  training,  besides  that  obtained  from  the  military  depart- 
ment, is  under  the  direction  of  two  college  men,  one  a  graduate  of 
Vanderbilt  and  the  other  of  "Georgia." 

* 


College  classes  meet  six  days  in  the  week  with  suspension  of 
work  after  two  o'clock  on  Wednesday's  and  Saturday's. 

* 


Every  member  of  the  faculty  of  the  University  is  a  'member  of 
some  branch  of  the  Christian  church.  Bible  classes  are  conducted 
by  members  of  the  faculty,  for  the  special  benefit  of  students,  in 
three  of  the  leading  churches  of  the  town.  Morning  prayers  in  the 
chapel  are  held  every  week-day,  at  which  service  members  of  the 
faculty  officiate. 

* ■ 


There  are  two  literary  societies,  the  Demosthenian  and  Phi 
Kappa.  These  own  their  society  halls  and  hold  regular  'meetings  on 
Wednesday  evenings.  Every  student  is  required  to  join  one  of  these 
societies.  There  are  also  two  law  debating  societies,  the  Georgia 
Law  and  the  Jeffersonian  Law.  Numerous  inter-society  and  public 
debates  are  given  each  year  as  well  as  inter-collegiate  debates.  The 
training  given  in  these  four  societies  has  been  one  of  the  most  po- 
tent forces  in  the  literary  life  of  the  University. 

* ■ 


During  the  past  ten  years  the  students  of  the  University  of 
Georgia  have  engaged  in  eighteen  inter-collegiate  debates,  and  of 
these  they  have  won  two  out  of  two  from  Sewanee,  one  out  of  two 
from  Tulane,  two  out  of  three  from  Washington  and  Lee,  three  out 
of  eight  from  North  Carolina,  one  out  of  two  from  Vanderbilt,  and 
one  from  Virginia. 

* . 


The  State  of  Georgia  extends  the  privileges  of  the  University 
to  all  persons  who  are  qualified  for  admission.  Thus  the  University 
does  not  receive  patronage,  but  is  itself  the  patron  of  those  who 
seek  its  privileges  and  honors.  It  is  maintained  at  public  expense 
for  the  public  good.  It  cannot,  however,  be  the  patron  of  inefficien- 
cy, idleness,  or  dissipation.  Its  classes  have  no  room  except  for 
those  who  diligently  pursue  the  studies  of  their  choice  and  are  will- 
ing to  be  governed  in  their  conduct  by  the  rules  of  propriety.  Ev- 
ery student  owes  to  the  public  a  full  equivalent  of  expenditures  in 
his  behalf,  both  while  in  the  institution  and  afterwards.

upon  her  sons  to  prepare  for  leadership.  Her  University  was  built 
for  them  and  stands  ready  to  help  them. 

If  he  will  go  to  college  to  get  what  he  can  of  its  scholarship,  its 
culture,  its  training,  its  friendships  to  use  in  loving  service,  he  can 
not  make  a  better  vise  of  three  or  four  years  of  his  life  nor  a  better 
investment  of  a  few  hundred  dollars. 

It  is  no  place  for  idlers  and  spend-thrifts.
